English translation by Ignacio Barrionuevo
‘Rody’, also known as ‘Viking’, was created in Germany in 1988 by Hans Jürgen Evers and then distributed by Tantau in 1994.
It is a typical groundcovering landscape variety belonging to that group of roses, needless of great care, in which the important attribute is not the isolated flower but the whole thing: “choral roses” with few pretensions which sing during the whole vegetative period.
A colourful spot with small semi-double blooms joined in small clusters, firstly coloured in cherry red and then, when maturity is reached, turning to raspberry red, over a healthy and compact shrub, not taller than half a meter.
An ideal plant for borders and small gardens.
